The Rafael Hernandez Dual Language Magnet School, P.S./I.S. 218 is K-8 Dual Language School. We instruct in two languages, English and Spanish. We have served the community for over twenty years. We offer two Regents in the 8th Grade: Living Environment and Algebra 1. Our students also participate in various extracurricular activities through our CBO, WHEDCo: Art, music, dance, homework help, and trips. To help students achieve mastery, there are after-school and Saturday academies. Our hallmark is to prepare students to be biliterate in English and Spanish and to give them an opportunity to apply to the best high schools.
